Considering the success of Game of Thrones, it's no wonder several famous people have openly cited the HBO fantasy series as their favourite television show.

In fact, past seasons have shown that showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are happy to invite some of these fans (mainly musicians) onto the series for cameo appearances.

Now, arguably their most famous fan has revealed he'd be up for a brief stint: Daniel Radcliffe.

When asked if he'd be agree to a Westeros walk-on, the Harry Potter actor said: "I would love to. If they want to just bring me in and f**king kill me, I would be so happy for that."

Radcliffe has been busy promoting two new films being released this month: Imperium, in which he plays the infiltrator fo a white supremacist group, and Swiss Army Man which sees him play a flatulent corpse opposite Paul Dano.

Speaking about whether he'd consider a longer TV stint, the 27-year-old added: “Right now, I have a little bit of freedom. I’ve recently read a couple of really good TV pilot scripts, but then it’s signing on for seven years.”

Previous Thrones cameos include Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody, Coldplay drummer Will Champion and Icelandic band Sigur Rós. Radcliffe's former Harry Potter co-star Jim Broadbent was recently announced to be appearing in season 7 of the series which broke a record at last weekend's Emmy Awards.

Radcliffe recently claimed Hollywood is "undeniably racist."
